T. Ray Grandstaff on Faith, Film, and Finding Home in Fort Smith
<p>Episode 87 sits down with T. Ray Grandstaff, longtime director with River Valley Fellowship of Christian Athletes and film producer behind Woodlawn, End of the Spear, and the 2025 animated feature Light of the World. Ray shares how a simple invitation to FCA as a sixth grader in Greenwood set the course for a career telling faith-based stories on the big screen, and why he and his family chose Fort Smith as home. The conversation moves into community, touching on the upcoming Mayor's Prayer Breakfast featuring speaker David Beasley and the value of something as simple as waving at your neighbors. It's a conversation about faith, film, and what it looks like to create culture instead of fighting it.<br>#FortSmith #FaithAndFilm #DiscoverFortSmith</p>
